Dear Mr. Flanagan,
We refer to your application for access to documents dated 09/04/2018 and
registered on 10/04/2018 under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expires on 02/05/2018.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns a large
number of documents.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on Tuesday,
29/05/2018.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
